wMy present invention has referenceto a. pocket of the plate, thereis astrip'3 of any simple means for clasping a necktie" to a suitable ordesired material. Preferably shirt or like garment, and my object isthethe strip has an outer abrasive face, as inprovision of a tie claspthatmay be cheaply dicated vby the numeral 1-, I and let in the 60constructed and marketed at a fair selling "Pocket and covered bythestrip there is'the price, and which shall be thoroughly efli- U -shaped'body" portion Of a continuous I p Giant it P P B-v Spring. wirelmember.The bod polftionsof ,i still further object is the provisionof the'wiremember is indicatied by the nua tie clasp that includes a' body platethat moral 5, and the legs thereof pass tlirou'gh1 is maybe highlyornamented and which has the {sheet 3at one of the edges of the saidsecured on its inner face one element of a sheet and .from'thence thelegs of the body 1 spring plate, the said plate having itsoppo 5 arerounded inwardly, as at 6,and con- 1 site end rounded to provide aninner spring tinu'ed to provide the 'same' witlr'parallel f jaw forcooperation with the plate, the arms 7. The'outenends'of the arms 7 are79. l mouth between the jaw and plate being rounded upon themselves inthe direction flared so that the device may be readily of the plate 1,as indicated by the numerals inserted on a tie and on the garment to 8,and these rounded portions are continued which the tie is to be clasped,while the to provide the parallel arms 9 of the jaw inner face of theplate, and if desired, the 10 of the improvemen The arms 'pr'ovid springjaw may be roughened for. more efl'ecing the jaw 10 are preferablyroughened or tive clamping engagement with the tie and serrated, as at11,.and the entrance passage with the garment. s or mouth between thejaw or the plate is To the attainment-of the above broadly flared, sothat the device may be readily stated'objects and others whichwillappear inserted over the edge of'a necktie 12 and as the nature of theinvention is better over the front seam 13 of a shirt or likeunderstood, the invention resides in the 1mgarment 14, as disclosed byFigure 5 of provement as hereinafter described and the drawings; I vdefinitely claimed. In Figure 6' the plate-1 is similar to that In thedrawings: above described and as a matter-of-fact, the Figure 1 is aperspective view illustrat spring jaw is also similarly constructed. ingthe application of my improvement. In this instance, however, theparallel arms Figure 2 is a side elevation of the im- 15 and theU-shaped base of the endless provement j spr ng wire are soldered to .orotherwise Figure 3 is a bottom perspective view secured to the inner.face of the base 1. th f 7 Also these arms are roughened or serrated,

drawings, the plate 1 has both its ends and Figure 7 the body plate21-has secured edges flanged, as at 2, thereby providing on its innerface the flat mner arm 22 of a the inner face of the plate with what maybe spring plate. The plate is rounded out' termed a pocket. Also theseedges may be wardly'and inwardly, as at 23, and from rounded inwardlyand secured to the edges thence continued to provide the outer arm andarranged in what Ihave termed the 24 of the device. The arm 2 l has itsend description has is from thence continued to form thejaw 26 whichcooperates with therbody' 22 of the plate.

It is believed that been carefully read in connection with theaccompanying drawings, the simplicity of my constr ction, the cheapnessat which the same may be manufactured and marketed and the thoroughetliciency of the device will be perfectly apparent to those skilled inthe art to which the invention relates but it is to be understood that Ido not wish to be restricted to the nrecise details of constructionherein i I 1 I i setforth and hold myself entitled to malt such changestherefrom asfairly fall within the scope'of what I claim.

' Having described the invention, 1
